Sortimo News & Presse

Sortimo and Mercedes-Benz Vans are intensifying their long-standing partnership and are now offering the Sortimo SR5 racking system as a VanSolution ex works for both the Vito and the electric battery-powered eVito panel van. The factory solutions are available as “Standard” and “Advance” versions.

Since August, Sortimo and Mercedes-Benz Vans have been offering interested trade businesses in the region the opportunity to test battery-electric powered eVito panel vans in a joint project. The vehicles are equipped with a high-quality Sortimo SR5 racking system, which is now also available as Mercedes-Benz VanSolution directly from the factory for the Vito or eVito.
 

The market leader for van racking systems and digital services is also affected by the shortage of skilled workers. However, as an innovation driver, the Zusmarshausen-based company is focussing on technical issues as well as on human resources aspects, and is offering a broad-based range of in-house training measures. In doing so, Sortimo is responding to the shortage of skilled workers, at the same time as qualifying its workforce to face the structural change in the industry. This approach underlines the company's strategic orientation towards electric mobility and supports the company’s pioneering collaboration with major automotive manufacturers, such as Mercedes Benz.

The market and technology leader for commercial vehicle van racking systems and services welcomes seven new apprentices and three ‘dual’ students, who will combine academic studies with work, to embark on their future professional career. Once again this year, the new arrivals encountered a diverse and varied programme of team-building events and workshops communicating key information the apprentices and students will need on joining the company. All events and workshops were held at Sortimo’s headquarters in the Bavarian town of Zusmarshausen.

Sortimo, a trailblazer for intelligent mobility solutions and digital services, is setting itself an ambitious target: climate-neutral production by 2025 at its production site in the Bavarian town of Zusmarshausen. Sortimo is taking a bold step in this direction with the launch of the FlexRack 2.0.  

Sortimo's “Fleet Management Services” (FMS) programme is based on three pillars: Consulting, Order Management and Operating Systems. It offers a holistic approach to optimising one's own mobility set-up and supports fleet operators, among other things, in the efficient use of data flows, from which decisive competitive advantages can be gained. Its modular structure makes it easy for companies to join up, providing the right package for every customer.

To make everyday working even easier, at the same time increasing productivity, the Zusmarshausen designers have optimised the railing and multi-functional bar of the proven Globelyst4 van racking system. This enables ProClick bags to be attached to the front and side panels of the racking system.

They stand for safety, efficient and ergonomic working: The new accessories for the topsystem from Sortimo. The flexible roof rack system provides additional storage space on the roof of the vehicle and is used for the safe transport of bulky and long objects. It can be used flexibly and saves the user time due to its simple operation.
